[The Materna preparation as an agent for iron prophylaxis and treatment in pregnancy disorders].
Quality proteins, salts and minerals are necessary for the well development of the foetus and the pregnant woman, one of the ways of supplementing or supplying these is via multivitamins. One of these is Materna, a preparation of 21 vitamins, minerals in a well-balanced formula. We used Materna for ferroprophylaxis during pregnancy recorded ist effects on the subjective feelings of the patients. This type of prophylaxis was used on 46 patients divided into 3 groups depending on the gestational week, in which the prophylaxis was commenced. We measured hemoglobin, hematocrit and serum iron concentration before++, during and after ingestion of Materna. We found a good effect of the preparation on the subjective feelings of the patients and also an effective ferroprophylaxis. We also discovered that for an effective ferroprophylaxis a long and intermittent use of the preparation is necessary in all and not some pregnancies. The authors believe that pending the current conditions in our country supplementary therapy with preparations such as Materna is essential.
